Last Updated: August 1, 2018
Length: Nyack Beach/River Trail; 1.6 miles
Haverstraw River Trail; 3.5 miles
Difficulty: Nyack Beach/River Trail; Easy. Mostly flat stone-dust trail.
Haverstraw River Trail; Moderate. Hilly, narrow and quite rocky. It runs along the cliffs and should only be ridden by experienced bicyclists riding bikes in good condition.
Directions:
To Start from the Nyack Beach State Park parking lot; From I-287 take exit 11 to Route 9W and head left (North). Travel 1.4 miles and turn right on Old Mt Rd. Follow to N Broadway and turn left. Follow into Park. FEE to park.
The Nyack Beach/River Trail (Some sites refer to it as Beach Trail, while the map say River Trail) and Haverstraw River Trail travel alongside the Hudson River in Nyack Beach SP. A paved spur trail travels uphill to Rockland Lake SP Bike Path at the end of the Nyack Beach/River Trail. The Haverstraw River Trail then continues. For more information visit; NYACK BEACH STATE PARK .
Starting from Nyack Beach State Park parking lot; Restrooms located here. Nice views of the Tappan Zee Bridge. A wide stone-dust trail follows alongside the Hudson River below the steep ridge of Hook Mt SP. Picnic tables located along the trail. After 0.5 miles (painted on a rock) look up to spot the sheer cliffs. Come to a paved section of trail at 1.3 miles as you start a short assent. The trail levels off and you come to an intersection at 1.5 miles.
Note; Left brings you up to Landing Rd next to a stone house with slate roof (private residence). Here you can follow the road up to an intersection. Head right along Rockland Lake Rd until you come to Parking Field 2 on your left. Straight through the parking lot leads to the Rockland Lake SP Bike Path after 0.8 miles.
Note; Right the paved trail continues back down to the river as the Haverstraw River Trail. I haven't checked out this section.
